Pistachio exports down 19% year-on-year in March-December
Recent data from Iran’s customs office (IRICA) show that pistachio exports from the country declined by around 20 percent in the nine months to December 21.
IRICA spokesman Rouhoallah Latifi said that total pistachio shipments from Iran in the March-December period had amounted to nearly $738.5 million in value terms.
Latifi said, however, that pistachio had remained a major export commodity for Iran and a main item on the country’s list of agrifood exports over the nine months to late December as shipments had reached 70 destinations around the world.
